The effects of graded tasks on physical activity: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Adaptations to the welsh national exercise referral scheme during the Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative study exploring the experiences of service users and providers and supplementary out-of-pocket co…
This study indicates that offering a virtual version of NERS could make the scheme more accessible to those who are typically underserved, provided strategies to address digital inclusion are addressed. Findings provide wider evidence to inform adaptations that could be made to ensure that other exercise referral schemes can optimise virtual delivery
Coping during the Covid-19 pandemic: Insights from a qualitative study of organizational resilience in an English substance use support service
Introduction : The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to health and care services, including substance use support, necessitating adaptations to maintain operational continuity. A lack of research exists into the factors that helped substance use services cope and maintain provision. This study aimed to elucidate the organizational resilience factors that assisted a substance use support service in sustaining operations and adapting…
Moving an exercise referral scheme to remote delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic: An observational study examining the impact on uptake, adherence, and costs
This study contributes new evidence concerning the effect of programme of delivery on ERS uptake and adherence and strengthens existing evidence concerning the effect of socio-economic factors. The findings direct the attention of ERS providers towards specific patient sub-groups who, if inequalities are to be addressed, require additional intervention to support uptake and adherence. At a time when providers may be considering alternative progra…
Development of a Self-Management Intervention for Memory Changes Linked to Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a hormone treatment for prostate cancer and is linked to altered cognition, including memory changes, which can have detrimental effects on quality of life (QOL). The aim of this research was to develop an intervention to support men with memory changes associated with ADT. The Intervention Mapping framework guided intervention development through a series of rigorous steps. A self-management booklet called M…
Effectiveness of a Digital Intervention in Increasing Flu Vaccination–Related Risk Appraisal, Intention to Vaccinate and Vaccination Behaviour Among Pregnant Women
BACKGROUND: Pregnant women are at increased risk of complications from flu, but uptake of flu vaccination is below 75% targets. Evidence suggests that changing illness risk appraisals may increase vaccination behaviour. In 2018-2019, researchers, public health specialists, and pregnant women co-designed a short animation targeting (unhelpful) beliefs underlying pregnant women's flu risk appraisals aiming to promote vaccination uptake. AIMS: This …
Spring fever: Process evaluation of a sex and relationships education programme for primary school pupils
In primary schools in England, programmes of Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) are rare. Provision has been judged as requiring improvement in over one-third of these schools at a time when statutory provision has been mandated by the government. The aim of this study was to examine the early implementation of Spring Fever, a programme of primary school SRE, in terms of reach, fidelity, dose, recruitment and context. Data were collected throu…
The eroticization of condom use: Could porn be used to have a positive impact on public health
Sex has been used to sell a vast array of products but, paradoxically, rarely used to sell condoms. Their promotion has typically been left to the sex education and public health worlds where messa
Increasing young adults’ condom use intentions and behaviour through changing chlamydia risk and coping appraisals: Study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of efficacy
As far as the authors are aware, this is the first controlled trial testing the efficacy of an intervention to increase condom use intentions and behaviour through changing chlamydia risk appraisals. It is one of few experimental studies to accurately test the relationship between risk appraisal and precautionary sexual behaviour using a conditional measure of risk appraisal and controlling for past behaviour
Which outcome expectancies are important in determining young adults’ intentions to use condoms with casual sexual partners: A cross-sectional study
The findings point to ways in which the attitudes of those with less safe sex intentions could be altered in order to motivate positive behavioural change. They suggest that it would be advantageous to highlight the potential for condom use to demonstrate a caring attitude, to challenge the potential for protected sex to reduce sexual pleasure, and to target young adults' risk appraisals for pregnancy as a consequence of unprotected sex with casu…
Beliefs underlying chlamydia risk appraisals: The relationship with young adults’ intentions to use condoms
Risk appraisals are identified by many theories of health behaviour as primary motivators of intention and action. However, limited evidence is available on the beliefs underlying risk appraisals. The nature of these beliefs must be understood in order to optimally modify risk appraisals in ways that motivate positive behaviour change. This study uses Cameron’s illness risk representations framework to examine the extent to which beliefs about ch…
A survey of English teenagers' sexual experience and preferences for school-based sex education
Rates of sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy amongst the under-16s are causing increasing concern. There is limited evidence about the sexual behaviour and sex education preferences of this age group, especially of those from Black and minority ethnic groups. This study aimed to provide data on early heterosexual risk behaviour, and to examine preferences for the content and delivery of sex and relationships education (SRE), acr…
Informing School Sex Education Using the Stages of Change Construct: Sexual Behaviour and Attitudes towards Sexual Activity and Condom Use of Children Aged 13-16 in England
A survey of 3820 school children in England aged 13-16 years examined sexual activity using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) Stages of Change. A quarter (26%) of teens were sexually experienced, 44.8 per cent did not use contraception and 48.9 per cent did not use condoms, every time. Past history of condom and contraceptive use, and partner willingness to use condoms were the best predictors of being in Action or Maintenance stage for condom use…
